bees PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 27 bees PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Funded PhD - The source of toxicity: Does exposure to soil contaminated with pesticides have negative impacts on solitary bees?

The source of toxicity. Does exposure to soil contaminated with pesticides have negative impacts on solitary bees?. Wild bees, such as solitary bees, are vital pollinators of crops and wildflowers, and so bee declines threaten both food security and natural ecosystems. Read more

Assessing the ecological importance, conservation status and natural capital of ground nesting bees in agri-environmental systems

Funding. This PhD project is part of a competition funded by SRUC. This opportunity is open to UK and International students and provides funding to cover tuition fees at the UK rate, plus a stipend to support living costs. Read more

Solitary and social bees’ cognition: is there a difference?

Applications are invited for a self-funded PhD project to investigate cognitive skills in solitary and social bees. The supervisors will be Dr Gema Martin-Ordas and Dr Mario Vallejo-Marin (University of Stirling). Read more

A computational framework to design robust and stable microbiome

Agriculture and global food security rely on pollinators (e.g. bees) but pollinators are in decline worldwide. One of the main causes of their decline is their exposure to harmful chemicals such as pesticides and heavy metals. Read more

The Physiology of Macronutrient-Dependent Immunity in Honeybees

This project aims to understand the interaction between macronutrients and immunity. The candidate will develop research to understand how the quality and quantity of protein and lipid nutrients influence an adaptive immune response, using the response in bees as a model system. Read more

Exploring the boom and bust of metabolic functional gains and decay in evolving holobionts

How accurately can we predict and direct the evolution of key metabolic functions within a holobiont? Directed evolution assays are becoming increasingly popular but we still lack a fundamental understanding of the evolution of functional dynamics. Read more
